Got preapproved and ready to tour? Read this before you fall for a house.

Use the max price as a ceiling, not a target. Check the payment you can live with, the cash you may need to close, whether seller-paid costs are assumed, and keep your job and credit steady while you shop. Around Chattanooga, a payment that looks fine on paper can feel very different once real taxes, insurance, and daily life hit.

If you want, I can walk through yours with you.

A lot of inspection surprises leave clues before your home ever hits the market.

• Check the crawl space for standing water, wet insulation, or a musty smell.
• Make sure gutters, downspouts, and grading move water away from the house.
• Pull the age and recent service records for the roof and HVAC so buyers are not guessing.
• If you have septic, gather the permit, last pump date, and any repair notes now.

If you are thinking about selling in Southeast Tennessee, I can help you spot what is worth fixing first.

New build or resale? The first number you see can send you the wrong direction.

Compare the full cost, the timeline, and what is actually included. Builder incentives can help, but lot premiums, upgrade costs, and delays can change the deal fast. Resale lets you judge the lot, light, storage, and neighborhood as they are today. And yes, I still recommend an independent inspection on new construction. Around Chattanooga and North Georgia, I see buyers make better decisions when we price both paths side by side.

If you want, I can help you compare both without the pressure.

A pretty kitchen cannot tell you what is happening under the house.

In Southeast Tennessee, especially for first-time and relocating buyers, I look hard at moisture, crawl spaces, drainage, septic or sewer, and HVAC age. Ask about those early so the inspection helps you plan, not panic.

If you want, I can help you sort what is normal, what is costly, and what is worth negotiating.

Before you list, estimate what you could actually keep after closing.

• Check your current mortgage payoff, not just your monthly payment or original balance.
• Ask for a realistic estimate of your seller closing costs.
• Leave room in the math if you may help a buyer with some of their closing costs.
• Set aside a cushion in case repairs come up during inspection.
• Add moving, storage, cleaning, and any time you may be paying for two places at once.

If you want, I can help you sketch a simple net estimate before your home hits the market.

Think you only need the down payment saved? That is the part most buyers hear about, not the full picture.

Earnest money can show up early. Inspections are usually out of pocket. Closing costs sit beside the down payment, not inside it. The number to ask for is your total cash needed by closing day.

This is why I tell buyers to plan for the full cash picture, not just the down payment.

If you want, I can help you map out those numbers before you start touring.
